The Forbidden Santa
“You have no idea,” he said quietly, “how difficult it is hearing you say things like that while you’re upstairs and I can’t touch you.”
My stomach tightened hard.
“Then come upstairs.”
The words escaped before I could think them through.
Silence crashed into the room.
“You do know what you’re asking for, don’t you?”
“Yes.”
A long pause.
Then:
“Open your door.”
At twenty-two, Ivy Hart has mastered the art of pretending.
By day, she’s the polished daughter of a wealthy country club businessman—the successful young woman her father proudly brags about to his golf buddies.
By night, she becomes someone else entirely.
Hidden behind soft lighting, silk robes, and a fake name, Ivy earns millions online giving strangers the intimacy she’s never found in real life.
But one man is different.
Masked. Older. Addictive.
Known only as BigDaddyP, he doesn’t just watch her—he sees her. Every insecurity. Every lie. Every lonely part she hides behind the camera.
Their late-night sessions become her obsession.
Until the night he whispers her real name during a private stream.
Terrified, Ivy logs off moments before her father calls with unexpected news: his famous actor godson, Patrick Laurent, will be staying at their mansion for Christmas while her parents leave town.
Cold blue eyes. Dangerous restraint. A voice she would recognize anywhere.
Because the man she’s been craving in the dark is now sleeping down the hall from her.
Snowed in together in a mansion, the line between performance and reality begins to blur. And the more Patrick strips away her carefully built masks, the more Ivy realizes the real danger isn’t that her father’s closest friend knows exactly who she is, It’s that she wants him in every forbidden way possible.
